• C. Height of Box A = 33 inches, Height of Box B = 60 inches.
• D. Height of Box A= 36 inches, Height of Box B = 60 inches."

Answer 1

The correct option is D Height of Box A= 36 inches, Height of Box B = 60 inches."

Height of Box A = 3 feet
Height of Box B = 5 feet

• 1 foot = 12 inches
• To get the length in inches, multiply 3 feet and 5 feet with 12, as 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
• For box A: $3\times 12=36$ inches Thus, there are 36 inches in 3 feet.
• And, for box B: $5\times 12=60$ inches Thus, there are 60 inches in 5 feet.
• So, the height of box A and B in inches are 36 inches and 60 inches.

Hence, height of box $A=36$ inches and the height of box $B=60$ inches.
